Corset Reopening

Corset boutique reopens in Hopkins today. New owner Jodi Mayers, a former sales and marketing executive specializing in customer service training, plans to continue focusing on women 30 to 65, offering professional, contemporary and casual apparel, sizes 0 to 20. She tells me she'll carry many of the same brands, but also intends to add European and Canadian lines, and develop relationships with local designers. She's adding more denim as well as evening options - all at a range of price points. Mayer plans to relaunch Corset's personal styling membership program in the fall - the transition should be smooth with original owner Carrie Leum consulting.
